Re: Sinking flagships

The LX and FM2n were very different, because the LX was a top of the 
line model and the FM a mid range camera. The LX was a unique design in 
the Pentax line and was very expensive to make. For what it offered for 
its price, considering what most Pentax users are willing to spend it 
was too expensive. The FM/FE is based on camera that has been around a 
very long time, doesn't cost a fortune to make and has the distinction 
of being one of the last, decent quality (trusted by pros) all 
mechanical cameras. The FM3a is just an update. A new LX, that would 
have a reasonable cost, would need a complete redesign.

What was the model that replaced the LX?  (has the same feel, etc.)
